The Phoenix Songtext
von Judee Sill

The sun was red, and the fires were roarin′
Stars aligned and the webs were spun
I coulda sworn I heard my spirit soarin'
Guess I′m always chasin' the sun
Hopin' we will soon be one
Until it turns around to me, then I try to run...


On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated
The fires froze and the sea was hushed
And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded
And the war will wage in my guts
Till the Devil bites the dust,
I never say him losin′ a race, but I think he must...

The great storm raged and the power kept growin′
Dragons rose from the land below
And even now I wonder where I'm goin′
Ever since a long time ago
I've tried to let my feelings show
I′d like to think I'm bein′ sincere, but I'll never
Know...
